Mediterranean Bliss: Slow Down & Dig Deep in Kythira, Greece
May 23-29th, 2026
Take time to unwind and reconnect with your natural rhythms in a serene and pristine corner of the Greek isles.
Situated in an off-the-beaten path corner of the eastern Greek isles lies the hidden paradise of Kythira. Left virtually untouched by tourist development, this island has managed to preserve its unique and picturesque character, making it an ideal destination for those who enjoy nature and want to feel peace inside and out.
In addition to an invigorating daily morning power yoga practice and a calming afternoon restorative and meditation practice, this retreat will offer you the opportunity to slow down, unwind and immerse yourself in the natural rhythms of the island. From secluded beaches and turquoise waters, to hiking trails replete with the aromas of wild herbs, the colors of wildflowers and the sight of dramatic cliffs dropping into the sea, to a variety of historical and cultural sights such as castles, monasteries, ancient ruins and charming villages, Kythira offers a menagerie of delights for mind, body and soul.
Our base for this retreat will be the idyllic Porto Delfino Retreat, a beautiful boutique wellness hotel nestled in a stunning location overlooking Kapsali Bay. Between their panoramic yoga shala, sea views from every room, gorgeous pool and array of spa treatments, it is an ideal location to step off the treadmill of modern life and immerse yourself in yoga practice and personal care.
